BOX OFFICE: THE HOBBIT Manages To Stay #1 On Christmas Day; 47 RONIN Flops

Written By Unknown on Thursday, 26 December 2013 | 13:28





The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug has now earned just shy of $150 million domestically, and a haul of $9.3 million yesterday put it just ahead of Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street (which took $9.2 million). This means that the Peter Jackson helmed sequel held onto the #1 spot, and it's thought that it will be the one film to rule them all over the five-day holiday period in North America. 47 Ronin, which stars Keanu Reeves, debuted at #7 with $7.1 million and a B+ CinemaScore. The fact that it's already off to a soft start in several key Asian territories and should struggle to top $20 million in total domestically means that 47 Ronin will face an uphill battle in regaining its $175 million budget. Did you guys watch either of these movies yesterday?














The second in a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" continues the adventure of the title character Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) as he journeys with the Wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and thirteen Dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) on an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor.
